The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets/playwrights included) who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.
1. Tim Powers
2. Marion Zimmer Bradley
3. Harlan Ellison
4. A. Bertram Chandler
5. H. Beam Piper
6. J. Michael Straczynski
7. Matthew Hughes
8. Jaime Hernandez
9. Jack Vance
10. Gene Roddenberry
11. J.R.R. Tolkien
12. Julian May
13. Robert E. Howard
14. Ian Fleming
15. David Bastian (I was in a writing group with him back in the '80's and he was the best writer in the group -- but he could never seem to finish a story, so I don't think he ever published anything.) (This writing group included published writers M. Shayne Bell and Dave Wolverton - who became well known writing an endless fantasy quest series as David Farland, to give you an idea of how good Bastian was. He was better than anyone else in the group.)
